Lewiston History & Wine Post-Voyage Extension

Historic & Culinary Adventure

Venture into the Lewis-Clark Valley—the newest designated wine region in the United States—to sample award-winning vintages and take in the area’s fascinating modern and indigenous history. As we explore some of the 300,000-plus acres of picturesque, rolling vineyards that make up Washington state’s 14th appellation, we’ll be guided by a local oenologist (wine expert) and historian ideally suited to illuminate all you see and savor.

Day 1 - Disembark Ship / Lewiston Wine and History Tour

Enjoy breakfast on board before disembarking the ship. Transfer to the Hells Canyon Grand Hotel before embarking on a historical tour of downtown Lewiston to learn about its founding. Visit the Nez Perce National Historic Park to explore the traditional home of the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) people and see how they continued their ways of life during the European settlement of the United States. Continue to the Nez Perce County Historical Society and Museum to learn more about the area’s history, including the Lewis and Clark Expedition of Discovery, the Camas Prairie Railroad, and river navigation.  

Enjoy lunch at a kitschy eatery before visiting a local tasting room. Taste some of the region’s award-winning wines as you sample an eclectic variety of reds and whites. Continue to Clearwater Canyon Cellars, named “2020 Pacific Northwest Winery of the Year” by Wine Press Northwest, a vital part of the wine culture of the region. Their wine maker, Dr. Coco Umiker, Ph.D., is known throughout the industry. Housed on Umiker Estates—owned by the Umiker/Nichols family who have farmed these lands for the last 100 years—the wines at this vineyard will not disappoint.
